question: why do you use this theme component? it appears as though [topic list thumbnails](https://meta.discourse.org/t/topic-list-thumbnails/150602) is using the topic author avatars already because it previews from the first post (OP), (although there are a lot of settings in that theme component). Are you wanting this to only apply to specific categories that Topic list thumbnails isn’t using?
